But the People Magazine Sexiest Man Alive 2016 wasn't always so confident in his awkward adolescence.
'When I was 13 and pimply and had an afro, I was two years away from people thinking I was a girl,' Dwayne admitted to the mag.
'When I was 11, kids thought I was a girl. I had very soft features. My Afro was soft; it didn’t kink up yet. So I was still battling my own insecurities.'
Johnson was able to channel this time of his life to better portray the Jumanji avatar of a nerdy gamer (Alex Wolff), who transforms into brawny archaeologist and explorer Dr. Smolder Bravestone.
